(A) Each officer and employee of the city who by purchase, lease, or otherwise procures supplies, materials, equipment, tools, or services, or who contracts for any such procurement, for or on behalf of the city or any office, department, or agency thereof, shall be financially responsible for all such transactions in excess of $100 per fiscal year, or other amount deemed appropriate by the Municipal Court, unless such transactions conform to such requisition procedures as may be prescribed from time to time by resolution of the Common Council, and unless each such transaction other than of a routine nature be first approved by a majority of the members of the Common Council. The term ROUTINE NATURE, as used in this section, shall have the meaning ascribed to it by resolution of the Common Council. The failure of any officer or employee to comply with this division (A) shall be prima facie evidence of malfeasance and grounds for dismissal.
(B) Unless otherwise provided by resolution of the Common Council, the City Clerk shall administer the requisitioning procedures and shall keep a current list of items which shall be made available at all times to department heads on nonrequisitioned procurements of a routine nature.
